The end is nigh - bye bye Harry

This season started off disastrously, exploded into life, then fell away calamitously.

That run of 11 wins in twelve matches, was the best I can remember, but the last three have been the worst. It is no suprise there is now unrest amongst the players, due to tactics and match preperation. This week Corluka has said that the lack of squad rotation is the cause of the current slump, ann opinion echoed by many Spurs fans including myself.

Harry Redknapp seems to always be the darling of the media, however so many fans have not shared this same love fest. He has criticised the fans for voicing an opinion and has blamed everybody else for the failings of the team.

In our last 20 games Spurs have collected 25 points. That is almost relegation form and any other Spurs manager would have been sacked for such a poor run.

We have lost heavily this season to Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, I can excuse a loss to these teams because they are all good sides, however it is the manner, conceding 5 goals once in a game is bad enough, but three times in a season in inexcusable in my opinion.

Harry Redknapps friends in the media will still deny any problem, but to all and sundry it is blindingly obvious. He inherited a good squad, found some luck iwth Modric and Bale and added some experience. There was no masterstroke signing, he would have never gone for Van Der Vaart, by his own admission. Quite simply he has taken this team as far as he can, which is only at best one place higher than anyone else in the last twenty years.

Whether he goes this week or next month, it is clear this side needs a change.
